Les Blank: Always for Pleasure [Criterion Collection] [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]

Detailed product description

An uncompromisingly independent filmmaker, Les Blank made documentaries for nearly fifty years, elegantly disappearing with his camera into cultural spots rarely seen on-screen - mostly on the peripheries of the United States, but also occasionally abroad. Seemingly off-the-cuff yet poetically constructed, these films are humane, sometimes wry, always engaging tributes to music, food, and all sorts of regionally specific delights. This collector's set provides a diverse survey of Les Blank's vast output, including fourteen of his best-known works and eight related short films. Texas musician: Always for Pleasure, which captures the vivacious spirit of New Orleans: Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers, a hilarious celebration of the pungent, flavorful stinking rose of the title: and eleven other unexpected features, plus eight of Blank's short films.

This collection of 22 documentaries by the independent filmmaker Les Blank includes restored versions of his features The Blues Accordin' to Lightnin' Hopkins, God Respects Us When We Work, but Loves Us When We Dance, Spend It All, A Well Spent Life, Dry Wood, Hot Pepper, Always for Pleasure, Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers, Sprout Wings and Fly, In Heaven There Is No Beer?, Gap-Toothed Women, Yum, Yum. Yum! A Taste of Cajun and Creole Cooking, The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists, Sworn to the Drum: A Tribute to Francisco Aguabella, as well as eight additional shorts made by Blank.
